BBC Asks: Is 'Iraq War Architect' Tony Blair Right for Gaza?
Ex-Worcester MP Mike Foster suggests Sir Tony Blair is the ideal candidate for a 'Board of Peace' in Gaza, according to the BBC. The article, playing it straight, presents this as a perfectly reasonable proposal, even referencing a nebulous 'Trump peace plan'. One might wonder if the BBC recalled Blair's previous role as the 'Middle East Quartet' envoy – a position that saw him achieve precisely
zero progress on a two-state solution while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepened. This isn't just tone-deaf; it's historical amnesia dressed as serious commentary. Tony Blair, whose legacy includes justifying the 2003 Iraq invasion and then serving as an envoy during Gaza's blockade, is now being touted as a solution. It’s hard to imagine anyone less qualified to oversee a 'transition' in a
region requiring genuine accountability, not another round of the same failed 'peacemaking' by figures intimately connected to past disasters. How many times must a 'solution' be recycled before the media calls it out as propaganda?
